Even though the NHL Lockout is at an end, the league continues to have some major problems with some of its players.

Most people would have a hard time believing this statement, but the NHL Lockout could be over by tonight according to a number of sources.

Day 93 of the NHL Lockout came to an end with no news on future negotiations and a great deal of disappointing news on the legal front.
